ZUN and Touhou Status 2

Actually my condition might not even be classified as a tumor today.

Obligatory link.

I dunno, if he's only selling part of the set for about the price of the set altogether, I think he might be trying to do some severe price gouging.

I think so too. He could've planned to buy the entire set, only to resell them in parts, and profit from it.
Either that, or he's planning to sell DiPP to recoup most of what he spent.

OT: Is that good or bad? Hang in there, Cuc!

[Tengukami]

Hope all goes well, cuc!

I don't know about the English name at the moment, probably Nonossifying fibroma?

So a benign tumor formed from connective tissue that hasn't/won't become bone tissue? These can happen in areas of broken bone from my understanding, so that helps explains things a little.

Using bone implants is the medical standard for fusing bone as bone seeks out bone to connect with when it's damaged. Simply placing fragments in the right area will help a lot more than nothing at all. It's how vertebral fusions are performed. The stainless steel plates will hold everything in place long enough for it to heal properly.

I have NO comment about the gypsum wrap because that's clear outta left field from what I know about physiological science and wound healing.

My first fracture, happening during a P.E. class, was initially a small crack - neither debilitating nor very painful. It was not diagnosed, as we didn't take any X-ray photo. We only properly recognized the problem after a few weeks, when the pain suddenly became unbearable. That was how the tumor came to be.

Re: gypsum, the first fracture was not severe in itself, I was too young, and the doctor must have decided fixating the waist and the whole leg was preferable.

[FLASH]

Hold on Cuc! i'm sure things will get better soon! 

Insane for the 10K dollar Zun set!
it's a little sad he re-sells just the DiPP alone to recoup his money, cause then it's not the complete set anymore... but guess he can do whatever he want, he bought it legit after all...
i just hope he's not planning to re-sell it in pieces to other fan for 3X overall Price like a Greedy Mafia bastard  :]

Hah, if you want a real story about troublesome medical practice in China: like many Chinese people, I suffered from Injection-induced Gluteus Muscle Contracture, which might affect growth, and would somewhat limit the range of motion of the legs - I couldn't sit cross-legged or do a full squat while holding both legs together. This was due to China's overreliance on intramuscular injection in the buttocks, a practice only put to a stop when the widespread of said condition was recognized as a problem in the 90s.

For me, that meant two more operations as a teenager.

[cuc]

First post post-operation.

[akj]

You're alive!  :toot:

How drugged up and high are you?

Not enough, he can still write correctly.

I hope you're okay though.

It seems like Touhou 14.5 has been announced:

https://twitter.com/korindo/status/547263752240787456

It's being made by Tasofro (in collaboration with Team Shanghai Alice), and is titled 東方深秘録 ~ Urban Legend in Limbo. A trial version of it is going to be sold at C87 for 100 yen.

Since it's being made by Tasofro, I guess it will be another fighting game or an expansion pack to HM (like Soku is to SWR).

The moment I woke up in the operation room, my mind pictured every sentence uttered by the anaesthetist and other doctors as tweets, complete with hashtags. That's about it.

There's a hella lot of minor updates I can translate. For now, enjoy the new FS cover art for December's Comp Ace magazine! Happy Winter Solstice!

ZUN's Nikenme Radio stream may no longer be backed by his publisher, but it doesn't stop him from making 2014's last show more of a extravangaza.

Tomorrow's (Dec 29) show will be an end-of-year dinner party with several fans who applied through twitter. I'm sure it will be a total chaos.

Last year's special Nikenme actually turned out not exactly for the best. Here's hoping things'll be better. For example, the (all male) fans could be a little less overenthuastic when interacting with Azuma Aya this time...

[Starxsword]

Hope you get well cuc.

Not enough listeners?

[Drake]

Okonogi-san worked at Ichijinsha until earlier this year, and also hosted the Nikenme sessions. As of October's session he isn't hosting anymore, ZUN pays for it himself.

Happy new year!

Here we have the conclusion to the story of the million yen Touhou box set.

The Touhou Memory blogger has sat down to talk with the buyer of the box set, and taken pictures.

These include the clearest images of the PC-98 floppy disks I've ever seen. The Touhou Memory blogger once questioned whether the blonde sleeping girl on the Mystic Square cover art is Marisa or Alice; now we can see that she is indeed Alice.

Oh wow it's so clear now, and what are those on the backs on the characters of Dim. dream?
Who is that on the CD cover of DiPP?

They'r string loops, like an xmas ornament

Interesting choice heh.

[Drake]

Something more relevant to japanese culture would be teruterubozu, instead.
Also, the character on the DiPP disc is just some random drawing, as ZUN was oft to do in those days.

In any case, I'm really excited about these pictures, especially the brilliant quality of the DiPP story, as has been covered previously.

Not overly familiar with that, what is it? (Currently cant look it up sorry.)

[ToyoRai]

A traditional Japanese doll made either with white paper of cloth where a string is tied on it to form a "head" and hanged outside. Its purpose is to bring good weather and drive rain away.

This year, NicoNico Super Conference has a spinoff: Tōkaigi 2015 (meaning: Fight Conference 2015), aka Game Party Japan 2015.
http://tokaigi.jp/

Held from Jan 31 to Feb 1 in Makahari Messe Hall, this celebration of games has a Self-Made Game Area.
http://tokaigi.jp/2015/booth/indiesgame.html

There's a booth where you can bring your own game to receive the advice of experts, and ZUN will be an advisor at 12:00 on Jan 31.

Who are some of the other experts  giving advice during the event?

[cuc]

Who are some of the other experts  giving advice during the event?

Yeah, I was going to translate that (all names in this thread are family name first).

On both Jan 31 and Feb 1:
1:00 PM - Tada Kōji & Itō Akihiro, employees at Sony Computer Entertainment in charge of indie games
2:00 PM - Nakamura Kōichi, founder and director of Chunsoft, who got his start as an amateur game programmer
3:00 PM - Ōmae Hiroki, director of Unity Japan

At 12:00,  Feb 1, instead of ZUN, the advisor will be someone from the development team of RPG Maker.


At the event, several historically significant "self-made" games will also be available for play to the public, including Door Door (the debut title of Nakamura Kōichi), the PC-98 Touhou games, Cave Story, Ao Oni, Crimson Room, Corpse Party, and more.
